Tony Bark bf67475107 Cleaned up and removed columns so it is what an actual Solari board would show 
- This update adds ISO date/time helpers for Amtrak timestamps, refactors the train table to show arrival time, status, and track details, and tracks the current station context in the UI.
- It also hardens station status decoding with a safe fallback to Unknown and simplifies the row model to match the new display.

🔍 Background

This was intended to solve a rather awkward dilemma. I turned a bunch of online Amtrak status boards made by Dixieland Software into PWAs (standalone web apps) for stations that I viewed on Virtual Railfan. While it was convenient - don't get me wrong - I had to create a new web app for each and every station, and it was becoming overwhelming.

So I created simple frontend that mapped to Dixieland Software's API using Tauri. You could type in simple station code and it'd take you their status board from within the app. Simple, right? Unfortunately, I didn't know how to get it go back to change the station, my attempted UI redesigns kept failing, and I accidentally botched a migration to Tauri 2.0.

So it sat abandoned until I discovered SwiftCrossUI. Now it directly makes use of Amtraker's API.
